Non-notable subject, whereby the article qualifies for deletion per WP:BLP1E, the subject being notable only for one event. The only significant coverage about the subject is concerning his leaving a position of employment (e.g. article). Other coverage is limited to fleeting passing mentions, name checks and quotations, none of which confer notability. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 03:03, 31 January 2019 (UTC) reply

Delete the subject is not notable. Lebsci ( talk) 04:20, 31 January 2019 (UTC) reply
Delete Fails GNG. Being appointed to a "high" level position in a religion does not confer notability. Valeince ( talk) 20:17, 31 January 2019 (UTC) reply
Unsure The article currently is poorly sourced and a ProQuest search reveals several reliable, substantial newspaper articles, so on that basis I think there are sufficient reliable sources to justify an entry. However, it does seem that notability is limited to the subject previously being a spokesman for a mining company and presently being a spokesman for the Mormon Church, and that may fail WP:BLP1E. The entry does presently feel promotional. Cabrils ( talk) 21:33, 1 February 2019 (UTC) reply
Keep To start with Meurs is not a "spokesman" for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he is a leader of the Church. The multiple indepdent articles covering his leaving his previous employer show he was a significant figure there. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 23:38, 1 February 2019 (UTC) reply
Delete There isn't enough sustained coverage from secondary sources to establish notability. Best, GPL93 ( talk) 22:37, 4 February 2019 (UTC) reply
